Produktbeschreibung
No idea shaped modern convictions about the moral structure of love, family life, and the role of the household in civil society more than the biblical idea of covenant. Yet these patterns are challenged today by socio-economic developments that alter the role of the family in civil society. Ethicist Max Stackhouse offers a fresh vision of how the family may best reconstitute the household.
